I had a dream when I was a kid in the
world
I wanted to make this world a place
best
I wanted to work to modify in
how much was my reach a lot of
inequality is a lot of injustices
that there is in the world I wanted to start this
talk asking you please
those who have ever dreamed of
change the world that please you
raise your hand and asked them to
leave a little upstairs
this is natural if you are
in a place like this is because they have
a lot of problematization is
because they are really committed
with living in a better world and I ‘m going to
ask that they lower their hand to those
people who for some reason have
abandoned their dreams because they think
that impossible because they think it is very
difficult because they think there is some
cause that that prevents you from being able
change the world can lower it to all
now thank you very much
if this is true and some people have
lowered the hand this has to do with
that something has happened in the middle of his
life of their experiences that they have done
that you are abandoning that dream by
something that is surely tangible that
be understandable
I want to tell you today an experience
personal as I had to live it to me and
I hope I can at the end of the talk that
those people who under the motto do not
can rethink because they lowered it and
when they leave here they can go back to
lift it my name said oaks I have
24 years I am a lawyer and it has been a year and
medium
I’m the president of the NGO putting together
smiles that out there correcting a
thing that I will get to that point not the
fundació but this is a dream
collective but the tapes and generator
of this project is not my absolute
so I ‘m going to tell you how it came about
this is what we are doing
and above all and more importantly that is what
what are we going to achieve because, as I said
at the beginning I had the dream of changing
the world and I’m sure we’re going to
change
I was 20 years old and a student
lawyer and I was lucky to win
a scholarship to go to study science
politics of madrid
I was a person and I did not
embarrassed to say it because it’s good
learn from our mistakes
in some sense I knew all of them
I knew what I had to do
I do not know the president the mayor who
had to be that they had to do the
entrepreneurs that this week such a thing for
this and this one makes it bad portal another and
there it is taken for the work of
explain to me what I was doing
It’s wrong because I did not know for what and
It was so that it helped me to go to Spain
out there away from my family away
of my friends to leave me everything
I knew to start seeing – only
to me but to see our country our
society
in perspective an agreement that once a
friend from Spain
I grabbed my brothers who like what
think wilde for galicia something what
good that you asked in Argentina
ate the world guardian brother
I knew all of them little in Chile
I seriously just said my friend and
I thought and said that if it comes to me that
I am because it really is not
typically
I think I know about a lot of
things but I’m not doing anything I
I dedicate to my work because it worked
I dedicate myself to study because
We were Anton fulfilled what
I have to meet my family with my
friends but the rest to this idea is that
no but that someday I will be able to
have such a thing and I will be able to do such
other
there is always an excuse there was always a
final exam always had to work
you always had to do this always
you have to do that and ultimately
everything was a great excuse
time passed forget Spain and I
encounter with a tome I take again
contact has turned with his head
extremely change
I went back I said I want to change what
that is already here I want to do different
it does not matter what but I’m going to do something
I was wrong but whatever it
I ‘m going home
I got in touch with a friend who is a
a lot of time that I did not see that
called frame that is sitting there the
background of bar who asked him for a
loud applause when he got into a
solidarity move are carrying things
to the interior of the province some
rural schools as it ends
doing things and without many times the
Nobody’s economic support
instead of making money with eto or
less poorer people look I want
add that you’re going to make the
next
well let’s celebrate the day of the child
He told me we’re going to celebrate the day of
child in a locality inside
the province and 300 boys and also
lack of everything arrives the day seems that
it was not done and good to some friends to me
other friends call other friends at
huge group we went on a
unforgettable when we come back from there
we noticed that we are not
coming back with many more things from the
what not
we just think we’re going to do it because
we are going to do things and we think
that we are going to give but the opposite and
We are going to receive
we go back we said h why we do not give
one way this because we do not try to
give continuity is great this
but we have to keep doing
well he was born three years ago together
Smiles
we started to work and like everything
He wants to make one feel like
of air to change a lot of
realities and in this one also wants
go back to eat the world
we made everything out there the most
characteristic of this time that I
I remember that we did a job of
helps a Wichí community to the
wichí community more numerous of the
argentina which is the chaqueña mission
where there is a lack of everything to clean water where
people were dying of diseases
easily curable where there was
very serious housing problem where
people lived and still live in
ranches where there were big problems
of dengue illness talks that in
other social strata that I imagine
that all or most not only
we are lucky to belong not
exist then we do not have a lot
of experiences doing that and when
we came back we hit a pretty
strong because we had not spent all
the silver that we had the box the box
we give them the box that brings smiles together
that was not far from being
millionaire was a box that we achieved
do raffle soccer tournament tomorrow
our old our family abusing
of trust in our friends from
our family from our partner
we finally realized that we could
do something much more sustained in the
time we could do something that in
some sense could be something other than
happened we have the desire to
change the world and we were not going to eat it
with them
changes and little by little and today we believe in
something much more modest
today we are not working to change
the world here and now but we’re
working for something simpler to
change our neighborhood our block
our friends our family
we are working for something quite
simpler and that’s how we started
work is really going to be a neighborhood that
it is called villa boedo in a short time
we also expand to another
neighborhood and we are working in 2009 the
chaparral and inside the
province a town that is called
transit
the funny thing about this was that we gave ourselves
mind that we could do a support
sustained that is far from going
Periodically well let’s go all
the days here so he can only
every day but cappa that bossi and
capable that will be able to Mondays and
Tuesday Wednesday and so we started
work really weighs sea harassment
school
began to generate a dining room where no
we expect a lot of things where we
we realized that the boys many times
They eat lunch at school and go back to
how he reacts the other day when that
zone
we realized that the many boys
sometimes the long weekends do not
ate we realized that the violence
many times it has to do with a
boy or girl wants to be violent but
with the most important lack that is
the lack of affection for there are many and
many times we think and say if there is
poverty in my country I know there are
poverty but I want to assure you that very
different to know that there is poverty because
we see it in some news we see it
in social networks because we have
arranged and go out to see reality and not
is taking wichí a thousand kilometers
it’s much much closer
10 blocks you walk to the neighborhood the
chaparral and you are going to find
with very conflicting realities
they will meet with people who are
dying in the middle of the twenty – first century
diseases that are curable is being
starving is dying for
a state that is turning its back
so he not only started working with
three fundamental premises that until the
Today we are accompanied by bread
education and work
we started to think that the bread was good
satisfy the basic needs that
we had to have the
lucky to be born in families that
apart from being wonderful they had
could provide the resources that another
people could not win inside our
same city a few meters from us
we started to work also in the
education because it connects when you see your
end
we realized that education is the
main driver of social mobility or
be in the councils of us we are
working
we want the guys if they want to be
nuclear physical astronaut the
Neurosurgeon employed or whatever they want
can be
fruit of their own decisions and not
because they have no other
not because a state that gives them the
back will continue to deny
systematically over and over again the
same opportunities that we are
have been granted for being born in
a privileged place and with this not
I want to say that there is no merit
have been born where we were born in all
case the merit will be of our
families
In any case, the merit will be
our educators in any case the
merit will be from the people that we
they have made us who we are today
how wonderful it happened with everything
This was the beginning of a
amazing team
we wanted to change the world we
we realized that it was a laboratory
Cappa tremendous that he would not delay
all of life and that today
It is not taking a lifetime but
something magical happened in the middle we gave ourselves
mind that we had something that did not
buy with money that is much more
important that the money that is a
immense and a wonderful team of
work that today I have the luck that
be here with me telling me what
is what we are doing inside
gathering smiles people that out there
ball will remember that do not repeat a
fellow schoolmate
faculty
a neighborhood neighbor people that to me
I personally happened to admire
very much and that defined che said
look, I like what they are doing
putting smiles together
I want to add they were not the best
words that I was lucky enough to hear
and that his heap of time I hear
good check what they are doing
putting together smiles
I want to add people that apart from being
admirable as people are admirable
what they do is people suddenly
has very clear communicating designing
we have the thousands of accounts we have
student workers and dressmakers
dentists psychologists people who know
how to manage a team what’s
they deal with human resources lawyers
medical comedians writers artists
and it is the message that interests me
transmit them here today and now the future
that we will have the one that we are
building
here in this place is Córdoba there is no
magical solutions genius does not exist the
genius are each and every one of you
with the things they do with the
daily commitment assumed by all
days for the rest of your life with this
I want to tell you that we have the
commitment today more than ever to
build an agreement with an Argentine
definitive in Latin America without hatred of
build a Latin America with
justice to build a Latin America
with truth to that I say no to the
revenge
in short as he put together his place to
born to die a place that claims
human existence above the earth
that’s why I hope these words
serve so that those people that the
beginning of the talk they said that by
some reason they stopped thinking that the
world was impossible to change know today
that we can not only change it but
that we should do it thank you very much
[Applause]
